http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc2-models/ - I wonder if there is anyreason why Hadoop & Accumulo would not work on this kind of computer.Any opinions? Buying a few desktops for my home use will make myoffice too hot to use.

Doesn't seem like enough RAM or disk to me. I guess it depends on whatyou were wanting to process though. Ive had a localhost setup ofHadoop/ Zookeeper/ Accumulo on my macbook with 4GB of RAM for testingbut its brutal. Is there a reason to not just go with an EC2 setup onamazon?

Part of the impulse is the novelty. But also, I am concerned about theprice of EC2; how pausing the instances would affect accumulo; or withcontinuously loading data.

With something like the Fit PC I can leave them running all the timein my office. Of course, simply getting a Linode 512 fromhttp://www.linode.com/ might be better.

You could probably do it, but only small amounts of data. You can cut downon running so many processes by not running HDFS.On Jul 7, 2012 11:38 AM, "Jim Klucar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

A raspberry pi cluster is an interesting idea. Other people have toyed withthe idea of lots of small, low wattage hosts attached to relatively slow,cheap storage and making up the difference in parallelism.http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fawnproj/

Since 1.4 we've provided configurations that fit intoas small as 512mb ofram. While the user cases are limited, we provide these for users to get ataste of running Accumulo without servers class systems.

You can Accumulo on the local filesystem by setting instance.dfs.uri,but its not well tested. I have tried it once.
